"I'd see $25, $75, $150 leave my account, and wonder why none of it was going toward my debt."
That coffee. That impulse buy. That $50 you forgot about. None of them felt like real spending. Too small, too forgettable. Meanwhile your debt sat untouched. Months of those add up to years of payoff you didn't have to lose.
You want to throw $200 at your credit card this week. But what if bills come in high? What if the car breaks? So you send $50. Or nothing. Your balance crawls down at minimum-payment speed.
Mint shows you where your money went. YNAB wants you to assign every dollar. Undebt.it hands you a fixed plan. None of them tell you what's safe to send right now.
